Where It All Started
Barbara McLain Properties, now McLain Properties, was founded by Barbara McLain in 1978. Barbara passed on in 2006. We didn’t just work for Barbara, we worked with her and loved her very much. Barbara spent 10 years grooming her granddaughter, Lisa Fore, to take over the company and we are pleased that Barbara McLain’s legacy lives on. Lisa is a motivated individual with a passion and determination second to none. Lisa’s leadership and attention to detail is a strong asset to her clients and the company. She operates on values such as integrity, consistency, creativity, compassion and commitment to excellence. Lisa has followed her grandmother’s footsteps with her involvement, leadership, and commitment to our industry. Serving various leadership roles on a local, state and national level.

Where We Are Now
Nearly 10 years later Lisa found it was time to rebrand Barbara McLain Properties; to bring a fresh new look to our logo, and remove Barbara from the company name. In 2015 Barbara McLain Properties would become the McLain Properties you see today.
Setting the Standards for “Quality of Service”, we continue to follow her words. Quality of Service is not only our mission statement, it is how we do business everyday. Barbara has passed on the customer care culture and it is the foundation for which the company is built.

Fun Facts: Second to Real Estate I have a passion for snowboarding. I have a love for adventure and the outdoors. When you do not find me jumping out of helicopters grabbing fresh tracks I enjoy a good glass of wine, craft beer or whiskey. My biggest weakness…I’m huge a sucker for animals. I would have my own shelter if I could. Coming home with strays growing up, I am now known to bring them back to the office from appointments.
